> Classfile API is an internal library under package `jdk.internal.classfile` > in JDK 21. > This pull request turns the Classfile API into a preview feature and moves it > into `java.lang.classfile`. > It repackages all uses across JDK and tests and adds lots of missing Javadoc. > > This PR goes in sync with > [JDK-8308754](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8308754): Class-File API > (Preview) (CSR) > and [JDK-8280389](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8280389): Class-File > API (Preview) (JEP). > > Online javadoc is available at: > https://cr.openjdk.org/~asotona/JDK-8308753-preview/api/java.base/java/lang/classfile/package-summary.html > > In addition to the primary transition to preview, this pull request also > includes: > - All Classfile* classes ranamed to ClassFile* (based on JEP discussion). > - A new preview feature, `CLASSFILE_API`, has been added. > - Buildsystem tool required a little patch to support annotated modules. > - All JDK modules using the Classfile API are newly participating in the > preview. > - All tests that use the Classfile API now have preview enabled. > - A few Javac tests not allowing preview have been partially reverted; their > conversion can be re-applied when the Classfile API leaves preview mode. > > Despite the number of affected files, this pull request is relatively > straight-forward. The preview version of the Classfile API is based on the > internal version of the library from the JDK master branch, and there are no > API features added. > > Please review this pull request to help the Classfile API turn into a preview. > > Any comments are welcome. > > Thanks, > Adam
